Lizzie Borden

The whispers in the night, they call to me
A hunger in my chest, it sets me free
Chasing all the promises that gold can buy
No remorse, just death and the lies
I take the axe, I feel the thrill
The taste of power, the silent kill
They beg, they scream, but it don't matter now
Their blood stains my hands, but I'll take a bow

In the dark, the deals are made
Silver and gold, hearts are played
I close my eyes and seal the fate
A life for money, death is late

I've taken lives for what I crave
For the riches, for the grave
No punishment, no price to pay
Just another soul to slay
Blood for gold, that's the game I play
In lies, full lies, loving in a way

I watch them fall, one by one
Their screams are silence when the deed is done
The scent of death, the taste of fear
They thought they'd win, but I'm always near
They chase their dreams, I steal their lives
A simple act with a thousand axes
There's no repentance in my heart
Just greed and hatred tearing me apart

In the dark, the deals are made
Silver and gold, hearts are played
I close my eyes and seal the fate
A life for money, death is late

I've taken lives for what I crave
For the riches, for the grave
No punishment, no price to pay
Just another soul to slay
Blood for gold, that's the game I play
In lies, full lies, loving in a way

And when the blood is spilled on the floor
I hear them calling for something more
But there's no mercy, no regret
Just a promise I'll never forget
A life, a death, it's all the same
Money is power, and I'm the one to blame

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one.
